MassChallenge Israel
MassChallenge Israel is the first, and so far only, formal MassChallenge program outside Boston. The mission of MassChallenge Israel is to enable top-tier Israeli startups to access global markets by connecting them with the very best people and organizations in the Boston entrepreneurial ecosystem. There are no strings attached to the MassChallenge program – MassChallenge does not take equity from the startups we support or place any restrictions on the winners.
With the help of Israeli mentors and judges, MassChallenge Israel will identify the highest-potential startups in Israel to participate in the MassChallenge accelerator in Boston. During the four-month accelerator period, Israeli startups will have access to world-class mentorship, a top-tier community of several hundred entrepreneurs, education, training, networking events, free office space, and a chance to win a piece of the $1M in cash prizes. These startups will be able to return to Israel after the MassChallenge accelerator with new sales channels, investors, mentors, and growth that wouldn't otherwise be feasible.
Thanks to the support of our MassChallenge Israel partners, Israeli teams that are accepted as one of the 125 global finalists will receive support to relocate to Boston during the 4-month accelerator period. Additionally, all Israeli teams will receive $100 off their application fee. Learn More
The MassChallenge Israel staff will be running events and info sessions over the next few months in Tel Aviv and throughout Israel to meet the top Israeli entrepreneurs and share information on the application process. Please take a look at our MassChallenge Israel calendar for upcoming events.
